As a devoted admirer of Mary Stuart, I hold historical fiction about Mary’s life to high standards. I am pleased to say that The Tower by Flora Carr met — and exceeded — those expectations. Read my full book review here:
Funny Story by Emily Henry is a top-notch opposites-attract romance full of the witty banter and emotional nuance the author is known for. Read on for my thoughts on the novel, along with my favorite quotes from the book!
Right from the prologue, this book drew me in and held my attention close. “When books are your life…,” it starts out, “you get pretty good at guessing where a story is going.” Still, though, Book Lovers by Emily Henry managed to surprise me, with plenty of emotional and evocative twists and turns throughout its pages. Full of witty banter and poignant moments, Book Lovers is a must-read for any…well…book lover.
Happy Place is a must-read for anyone in their late-twenties and early-thirties, experiencing the growing pains of adulthood that no one really warns you about. Following a group of college friends on their last trip to a beloved cottage — their happy place — this book made me laugh, cry, and everything in between.
Maria follows the story of Maria von Trapp, the protagonist famously played by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.

I didn’t finish one book, but it was so boring it’s not worth mentioning here. Overall, I would recommend all of the books listed below for your TBR!
The Inheritance Games series is equal parts rags-to-riches story, Gossip Girl, and Knives Out mystery. Read my full review of this four-part book series here!
In January of this year, Sarah J. Maas (SJM) released the third book in her Crescent City series, House of Flame and Shadow. Coming out about two years after the second volume in the series, House of Sky and Breath, this book picks up right where book two’s jaw-dropping cliffhanger left off. Here, I’m sharing my thoughts and review on the book, along with some insights I think are relevant to its reception online.
